FAQs
Does insurance cover a dietitian? Do I need a referral?
1
Yes, most insurance plans cover nutrition counseling with a Registered Dietitian, often with little or no out-of-pocket cost. We accept BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, University of Utah Health Plan, Medicaid and most major plans. Some plans, including Medicaid, require a referral from your doctor. We encourage you to call and confirm your coverage with your plan or give us a call and we can check for you.
Does Medicaid cover nutrition counseling?
2
Wyoming Medicaid covers nutrition counseling with a referral from your doctor. Call us and we can check your coverage.
Can I see a dietitian online or by telehealth?
3
Yes. We offer secure telehealth nutrition visits anywhere in Wyoming, plus in-person visits in Rock Springs and Green River. Telehealth visits are usually covered by insurance the same way office visits are. All you need is a phone, tablet or computer.
How many sessions will I need, and how long are they?
4
Most clients meet with our dietitian 3 to 6 times, though it depends on your goals. Your first visit is about 90 minutes, and follow-ups are about 30-60 minutes. Some clients check in monthly for ongoing support, especially with diabetes, GLP-1 medications or eating disorder recovery.
Can a dietitian help me lose weight?
5
Our dietitian focuses on building healthy behaviors rather than chasing a number on the scale. Together we work on habits that support your health for life: regular balanced meals, eating in tune with hunger and fullness, movement you enjoy, sleep and stress. These changes can improve energy, lab results and how you feel, whether or not your weight changes. We also explore why you eat, including stress and emotional eating, without shame or rigid rules, and our counselors are right down the hall if you want support with the mental side of health.
What should I eat on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound?
6
On a GLP-1 medication, the priorities are enough protein at every meal, plenty of fluids, fiber, and strength-building activity to protect muscle. Smaller, slower meals can ease nausea and other side effects. Our dietitian creates a plan for your appetite and your medication, and helps you build habits that hold up if you ever stop taking it.
Can a dietitian help with diabetes, prediabetes or high cholesterol?
7
Yes, and it's one of the most effective steps you can take. Our dietitian teaches you how carbohydrates, fiber, fats and meal timing affect your blood sugar and cholesterol, then builds a plan around foods you enjoy. Medical Nutrition Therapy for diabetes is covered by most insurance plans, and by Medicaid with a doctor's referral.
Can a dietitian help with IBS, bloating or gut issues?
8
Yes. Our dietitian helps clients with IBS, IBD, reflux, bloating and other digestive concerns find their trigger foods and calm symptoms. That may include a short-term, guided low-FODMAP or elimination diet, followed by reintroducing foods so your diet stays as varied as possible.
How do I know if I have an eating disorder, and can a dietitian help?
9
Warning signs include constant thoughts about food or body, skipping meals, rigid food rules, eating in secret, feeling out of control around food, and compensating with exercise or purging. You don't have to be underweight to have an eating disorder. A dietitian trained in eating disorders works alongside your therapist and doctor to restore nourishment and peace with food, and our team provides both under one roof.
Can you help my teen athlete, or help me fuel for sports?
10
Yes. Our dietitian is also an ACSM Certified Exercise Physiologist and works with athletes of all ages on fueling, hydration, recovery and energy for training and competition. For teen athletes, we focus on eating enough to grow, perform and stay healthy, and we watch for under-fueling, which can lead to injuries and fatigue.
What do I eat before and after bariatric surgery?
11
Before surgery, most programs require a dietitian evaluation and a pre-op diet to prepare your body. After surgery, you move through stages from liquids to purees to soft foods to regular foods, with a focus on protein, hydration and daily vitamins. Our dietitian supports you at every stage and long after, so your results last.
Are you accepting new patients?
